Activities like social media and video games can provide pleasure, peace, contentment, and delight but may not be generative.

“But in some sense, there are milestones, like we want to move forward. There's this phenomenon nowadays of a lot of young people so called failure to launch, like they're not leaving home or they're not finding a vocation. They're not feeling as if they're good at anything. Or they have the sense that unless you're going to be top 1% in something, it's not worth trying. But they can still find what most people would describe as pleasures. Like they might enjoy food maybe a little too much. They enjoy alcohol maybe a little too much. They enjoy social media or video games, maybe a little too much.”
